These are some of the things that I NOW automatically do becuase of lessons dearly learned and items lost forever.
Daily:
- Update virus and spyware programs (if they don’t do it on their own)
- Back up any work that you have done onto a usb key
When a program crashes ( which in my case outlook does on a regular basis, stillhave not figured it out) close and restart your computer this clears it out.
Weekly:
- Perform a full computer virus scan and spyware scan ( schedule it to be done automatically)
- Back up anything you’ve worked on and updated that you forgot to back up daily.
Monthly:
Personally I am still behind on this but it is a good idea to check up on all updates for the most used programs.
Yearly:
Which is around now that I start going through all the files I have made during the year, see which ones I absoulutely must have, trash can those I really don’t need and file away the rest.
Alos it’s bewen advised to vacuum the computer and air blow out for dust. I have several cats and really need to do this more often than once a year.
These and many more tips I have gotten from pcworld.com one of the first places I go to check out for any information on computers.
